The Southwest National Honor Society delivered gifts to 48 kids and 15 food baskets this Christmas season. We want to thank everyone who 1) takes stars and buys gifts/food baskets and 2) those who donate monetarily - your donations this year helped us buy a winter coat for every child! We also would like to thank Adams Bank & Trust of Indianola and Stockmens Bank (State Bank) of Bartley for allowing us to put up the Wish Trees in their lobbies! As the saying goes, "It takes a village", and our school district is one of the best about caring for their village!
